If My Words Can….

If my words had the power to change the world,

I would scrabble up the words of magic and put forth a message.

A message for each and every one,

A message to keep the green world unharmed,

A message to love our flora and fauna,

A message to keep our water bodies clean,

A message for our mankind to be kind,

To be Kind to all, and foremost to be kind to your own soul.

As everything starts with you, so do unto the same as you want others to do.

Alas! Only if my words had the power to change the world,

Because words mean little, when real action is called for.

As words only sound and spend your energy,

But only actions speak louder than words.
